Chapter 11 Preparing for the Sochi Olympics?
The atmosphere in the large principal's office suddenly became tense. The principal tried his best to persuade them, but seeing that neither set of parents was willing to back down, his expression also turned sour. He knew that his superiors had already called to inquire about the situation, and if he didn't handle it well, he would have to give an illegal explanation.
"You two need to think this through. If this gets out of hand and leaves a criminal record, it won't be something the school can handle." Liu Yanbin said impatiently, half advising and half threatening.
"A criminal record? Just what I wanted! She should be punished for stealing. Principal, don't say anything more! We won't drop the case!" Xu Yue's mother glanced at her contemptuously, her tone as if she were the one deciding whether or not to drop the case.
"Ha, you're acting like you're the one who called the police, accusing me of theft this and theft that. If I didn't steal, this is slander!" Jiang Chengcheng was speechless at Xu Yue's mother's attitude. Was this person too confident, or too trusting of her daughter?
"Hmph! If you didn't steal it, I'll pay you 100,000 yuan! Consider it compensation for emotional distress, and I'll have my daughter apologize to you in front of the whole school! If you did steal it, you'll have to pay the same amount! 100,000 yuan in compensation plus an apology to the whole school!" Xu Yue's mother sneered, looking down at Jiang Chengcheng and her mother with an air of superiority, before speaking again. "What? You dare?"
"What a joke! You're not afraid of slandering others, so why should I be afraid? I'm only afraid of losing!" Cheng Juan retorted directly, seeing Xu Yue's mother's smug expression.
In the end, even after Liu Yanbin and Chen Ying had talked themselves hoarse, they still couldn't persuade the two.
As expected, the group parted on bad terms.
.........
Another day.
Thanks to the intervention of school leaders, Jiang Chengcheng is now allowed to leave school during the last self-study period each afternoon.
Although figure skating training is tedious, it is generally simpler than Jiang Chengcheng had imagined.
Since Jiang Chengcheng still has to go to school, the training venue was set at the W City Ice Rink, since Zhang Jing doesn't have any other students to teach yet.
It's worth mentioning that Jiang Chengcheng didn't realize how much Zhang Jing's boss cared about figure skating results until she started training. After all, booking the entire venue after 4 pm every day was quite extravagant!
That day, Jiang Chengcheng was practicing figure skating as usual. She was so engrossed in her practice that she didn't notice that several middle-aged men had suddenly appeared at the ice rink, which she had booked for a private session. They were all wearing jackets and looked like they were in administration. Upon closer inspection, she saw that her coach, Zhang Jing, was also with them.
"Old Zhang, is this the figure skating prospective athlete you mentioned? Her jumps are indeed impressive. How many years has she been training?" The middle-aged man at the head of the group looked at Zhang Jing behind him and asked.
"Guess!" Zhang Jing didn't answer the man's question immediately, but instead kept him in suspense.
"Eight years?" The man looked at Zhang Jing tentatively.
Figure skating is a sport that requires early training, with many skaters starting as young as four or five years old, so it's not surprising that men make this assumption.
"Guess again." Zhang Jing shook his head.
“Five years?” another middle-aged man asked.
"Not long," Zhang Jing continued, shaking his head.
"It can't be three years, can it? That kid is too amazing!" The middle-aged man in the lead looked incredulous, but Zhang Jing still shook his head.
"Hey! How many years is it exactly? Just tell me! Stop keeping me in suspense!" A middle-aged man with an impatient temper quickly asked.
“One month!” Zhang Jing pouted, looking like he was his proudest disciple.
However, after waiting for a long time, he did not hear the praise he expected.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group looked completely bewildered, and finally spoke with some difficulty.
"Old Zhang, have I pushed you too hard? You've been forced to make up lies."
Several middle-aged men nearby also chimed in.
"Yes, Lao Zhang, if you have any difficulties, just say so. The higher-ups won't ignore the real situation."
"Sigh! You've had it tough too, you're so busy you're practically exhausted!"
Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Zhang Jing realized that they didn't believe him at all.
"No, really! I'm not lying to you! She really only booked for a month, and before that she couldn't even skate properly! I saw it with my own eyes! I swear on my career!"
Seeing that no one believed him, Zhang Jing hurriedly began to explain, even at the risk of his career!
"Really? This little kid is amazing!" Seeing that Zhang Jinglian had actually said it, how could the others not believe it?
"Old Zhang, if it's really as you say, with this little girl's talent, she might be able to make it to the Sochi Olympics next year." The middle-aged man at the head of the group pondered for a moment before expressing his thoughts.
Actually, his previous proposal to cultivate a figure skating team was more as a reserve force. It was impossible for them to participate in major competitions at such a young age. However, seeing Jiang Chengcheng's talent today gave him a bold idea: to start preparing this year. With her talent, it wouldn't be too late to compete in the Olympics.
